Would you take on the cost and risk of additional machines and employees for an ephemeral market and small margins?

For the public good? Absolutely. Even more so if the government subsidized part of it to help ensure those goods were available to their citizens.

But you wouldn't be taking on that cost and risk. That's the whole point of subsidizing manufacturing. To alleviate said cost and risk in desperate times.

You know, like a global pandemic. That's a pretty desperate time, IMO.
